Last Sunday a very large Democratic meet

About / p. m. the steam propeller w. M.

Pointe-a-la-Hache brass band, led by Prof.
Robt. Hingle, and the Home Places or tri-
color brass band, led by Prof. Louis Lapo-
taire, volunteered their services. Both bands
united and produced excellent music. Many
people from the tenth ward came In bugg.es
and on horseback: others crossed over from
the opposite side of the river IN skins, and
when the meeting was called to order there
were present at least 800 Democratic voters,

BREAKING DOWN THE COLOR
LINE.

In another column is published the
official correspondence relative to the
suppression Of the negro militia COM
pany, under command of the notorious
Lewis Benjamin, which outraged the
parish Of Lafourche in 1876-1977. and
whose existence was maintained by
Gov. Nichols Notwithstanding the ear
nest and indignant protests of the peo-
pie of the town of Thibodaux and par
ish of Lafourche. This negro COM
pany continued in existence, q stand
ing menace to the peace of Lafourche,
until near the close of Gov. Nichols
term, when it voluntarily disbanded,
and it's members scattered throughout
TIE State, taking the arms and accou,
trements belonging to Louisiana with
them.
The refusal of Gov. Nichols TO dis,
band this aggregation Of miscreants
whose rufianiy character is set forth
in the testimony Of Mr. Michelet, chair
man of the Democratic executive com
mittee of Lafourche, was in direct align
ment with his famous policy to breal
down the color line, as announced t.
Senator Wayne McVeagh and others o
the Hayes commission, sent to Louis
lana to investigate the status of affairs
1t was also in line with6is further &C
ton in Tensas, when he criticised ant
condemned the action Of the white PEG
pie of that and adjoining parishes TO
taking steps to protect their propert
from the hungryhorde that had SO Ion
preyed upon them.
AS in Tensas, the attempt to "brea,
! down the color line" in Lafourche, fol
tunately for the peopleof those parishe
: and Of the State, did not succeed.

The prominent feature of the last month
has beer the almost unbroken continuation
of dry, warm weather over pretty much the
entire belt, forcing the fruit to maturity and
enabling u rapid gathering of the staple, and
at the same time destroying, except in a few
sections. any prospect for d top crop. AS a
result of such conditions the quality of the
product grades high, though in localities
there Is some complainto of recent heavy rains
damaging the cotton, and in others of the
fine trash from depredations ay worms.

COL. BOB OGDEN AND esREFORM."

The Nichols managers have lately
recognized the sad feet that their bar
becue orators did not s'enthuse" or
rouse up the people. Half q dozen
young lawyers were tried, but after a
Jew days practice were sent back to
the city-they did not suit. 1t has
been whispered lately in Loud accents
that all these small fry were going to
be cast adrift, as the reformers had
finally captured a superior quality OF
orator, n Of honeyed tongue and
musical valse, who would preside over
the Nichols pig in language ricr in
poetry and smile, and show the people
why they should give all the offices to
the reformers.
We have waited ex~pectant for this
new orator who was to electrify his au-
dience and sweep everything before
him. We expeGhed a surprise, and we
have been given one. When the
hidden secret was revealed, and
we were told that this reform orator
was Col. aBob' Ogden, we were stag
gered at this blow; and even the re-
formers, not in the secret, were
shocked and demDralized. 1T is al
ways the unexpected that happens"
we are told but with due allowance
for miracles, who could imagine that
cur genial, rosy Col. Bob" Ogden
would turn up as a reformer. It was a
